Default New Charger owner

Just got an Black R/T and every option I think, or at least seems. Nice car, very smooth.

Only two complaints so far:
Not loud enough!!

Seriously, what's up with the glove box handle? When the glove box is shut the handle is very loose like it's broke.

Probably won't do much to it but a K&N.

Welcome to the site. i love the new Charger and would like to see pictures of your new car. as for the handle on the glove box, i don't know what to say. ask your dealer, if it isn't right, it is under warranty.

Along with the others, welcome. If blasting out the muffler will take to long for you, try a Flowmaster or Borla Cat-Back. Either one of those will make your Charger growl.

I know these cars turn heads, took a test drive two weeks ago when I was ordering my Daytona and while my wife was driving it back to the Dealer she missed the turn for the parking lot. So we went on down the road where I knew we could turn and double back. There was this guy standing on the corner as we turned. He did one of those turning while watching things as we rounded the corner, smile on his face and you could tell he like what he was seeing. Pretty funny actually.

If your going to get exhaust get true duel magnaflow mufflers. Go to their site and listen to the sounds. They have a hemi Magnum on there and it sounds AWESOME. Plus I have duels on my 1990 360 Ram and it sounds SWEET.

I get a lot of looks and stares. I think it's the only one in our town. Took it up some winedy 30MPH roads at 60 plus, handled very nice. Very comfortable car, very roomy for all. My wife checked the other cars on the lot and said they all had some glovebox handles. Last time I shut the glovebox it seemed to "lock" (handle) in place. We offered the dealers $30k and we would come pick it up the next day. Nobody responded at that offer but did come down to $32k and some change. Then one of the dealers called (too late) with $30,100! Oh well, we got the sunroof with the car we purchased.

I still have not seen another new Charger on the road since I got mine. I had the dealer trick out the exhaust and tint the glass. I use this car daily and enjoy it tremendously.
Lots of looks, especially from behind (heh,heh) As for the glove box , all is silent.
